Gail; Where is the tribe which you are trying to track down. Most application records for BIA registration are available through the National Archives in either Bruno, California (northern) or Laguna Niguel, California (southern).

Hi All: Need to pick someone's brain. I would like to request copies of the original documents that a person fills out to apply for a registration number with the BIA. ( Of course they are California Native American ) The last time I tried to deal with the BIA I got the preverbal run around and an indication that if I had all the " t's " crossed and " i's " dotted it might be 3 to 6 months for an answer. The documents I am searching for were filed in the early 1900's. My question, is there an easier way to obtain this information without going through the BIA??? Or, is there a good contact with the BIA that just may be a little more helpful??? Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Gail Darling Bakersfield, CA
Great stuff here! This building is still standing in the community where I grew up, Highland Park. I used to play near here. Clyde Browne is related to the singer/songwriter, Jackson Browne.

From "Nuestro Pueblo - Los Angeles, City of Romance" Copyright 1940, by Charles H. Owens and Joseph F. Seewerker THE WEDDING CHAPEL More than half a century in the Southland has given Clyde Browne both a great love for things Californian and much knowledge of the subject. Particularly, he dislikes so-called California houses. With his own hands, he has built Abbey San Encino at 6162 North Figueroa Street, for home and example of true California architecture and spirit. Patterned after the old haciendas, San Encino even has its own fully equipped chapel, and a private patio around which house and chapel were built. Most of the bricks, stone, sand, and gravel used in the building were mined or made on the site. Mr. Browne began building in 1915 and was ten years completing the house. The chapel is a composite of the designs of half a dozen California missions. Built to express Mr. Browne’s own feeling for genuine California architecture, the chapel has become more than he intended. Many young couples ask to be married in its quaint interior. So many marriages have been performed there the he has called it the Wedding Chapel.
From "Nuestro Pueblo - Los Angeles, City of Romance" Copyright 1940, by Charles H. Owens and Joseph F. Seewerker THE CHURCH THAT BRANDY BUILT The old Plaza Church is doubtless the most famous landmark of Los Angeles. When the pueblo was founded, the colonists built a place of worship immediately. But it was quickly outgrown and the cornerstone for a new church, this Old Plaza Church, was laid in 1814. Foundations and cornerstone merely opened a campaign for funds. For four years subscriptions were asked, and among the contributions were half a thousand head of cattle. As the builders thought of selling the beeves, the Governor is said to have made a proposal. In exchange for the livestock, he would include in his next budget sufficient funds for completing the church. But like many other politicians, the Governor owned a short memory. The official budget was never to include those church funds. So at last the president of missions begged of the brothers in California and received seven barrels of superlative brandy, so fine that when sold by the drink it produced money enough to keep construction going until 1821. Then a second contribution of brandy was received - and drunk as enthusiastically and with as large return. Los Angeles proved that it would buy brandy in a good cause - if the brandy were very good.
From "Nuestro Pueblo - Los Angeles, City of Romance" Copyright 1940, by Charles H. Owens and Joseph F. Seewerker SAINT VIBIANA’S CATHEDRAL Saint Vibiana’s Cathedral at 210 South Main Street was built and consecrated in 1876. The neighborhood was one of fine homes, of dignity, then. But through the years the majestic church has witnessed the decay of Main Street, degeneration of its residents. ‘Main Street bums’ shuffle past; thieves and women of the street stand in the very shadow of the walls. But the squalor of its surroundings cannot affect the beauty of Saint Vibiana’s, one of the outstanding churches of Los Angeles. Within the sanctuary of the cathedral rests the body of Bishop Phaddeus Amat, first bishop of Los Angeles, through whose efforts the cathedral was built. In an urn above the main altar are the relics of Saint Vibiana, martyred saint in whose honor the cathedral was named. Church historians record that the sacred remains of Saint Vibiana were discovered in 1853, in excavations along the Appian Way in the catacombs of Rome. An urn above her sepulcher contained the evidence of her martyrdom. She is believed to have been no more than thirteen or fourteen years old at the time of her death. Her relics were brought to Los Angeles through the efforts of Bishop Amat, who promised the Pope to erect a cathedral in her honor. They were placed above the altar when Saint Vibiana’s was consecrated.
From "Nuestro Pueblo - Los Angeles, City of Romance" Copyright 1940, by Charles H. Owens and Joseph F. Seewerker SHINTO TEMPLE AT FISH HARBOR Fish Harbor on Terminal Island, San Pedro, is not an easy place to visit. For the population is chiefly Japanese, industrious fishermen who spread drying nets for miles along the main thoroughfares. They mend nets in the streets, also, and the luckless automobile that comes close to the precious meshes rouses ugly scowls. There is color and picturesqueness everywhere at Fish Harbor, if the seeker can endure the reek of fish in a thousand forms and stages, making one tremendous smell. Fish enough are canned daily at Fish Harbor to supply an army for a month. The odor indicates to the stranger that all such statistics are gross understatements. One of the most interesting places is the tiny Shinto temple where Japanese fishermen worship. For more than thirty years they have padded up and down the steps, until the treads are worn and grooved like warped ship planking. Within, priests in the brocaded robes and strange headgear of Old Japan conduct ancient rituals. Outside, the canneries clank; inside, priest nor worshiper heeds the sound. For a fisherman’s life is dangerous, hard, often poorly paid. They pray earnestly.
From "Nuestro Pueblo - Los Angeles, City of Romance" Copyright 1940, by Charles H. Owens and Joseph F. Seewerker CHURCH OF THE SLUMS Near Ninth and Soto Streets in Los Angeles, dilapidated shacks are disappearing from acres of land. New buildings, attractive if modest in size, replace them in what might be termed a slum-clearance project. But one building of the section stands untouched, the little Mexican church of Boyle Avenue. Claretian fathers have ministered for a quarter-century to the poor of this district. At first, they had no church. But there were charitable folk about, and willing hands. The Simon Brick Company, the Los Angeles Brick Company, donated materials. Mexicans of the congregation moulded bricks. Presently, Saint Elizabeth’s Church rose in a tiny mission-style building with cool, inviting interior, haven of the troubled and the devout.
From "Nuestro Pueblo - Los Angeles, City of Romance" Copyright 1940, by Charles H. Owens and Joseph F. Seewerker COUNTRY CHURCH OF HOLLYWOOD Hollywood the sophisticated, factory of super-spectacles, might seem the last place in America for an old-time Tennessee circuit rider. Josiah Hopkins and Sarah, his wife, proved that a country church merely added another note to the cosmopolitan chorus of the film city - and a note most popular. For more than thirty years the Hopkinses carried religion to the crossroads hamlets of Tennessee. Then Hopkins ‘got the call’ to Hollywood. The old circuit rider built the Country Church of Hollywood in 1933, at 1750 Argyle Avenue. One concession to modernity he did make. He decided to use the radio to carry his ‘old-time religion’ to a world busier and more complicated than his Tennessee hills. The ‘Goose Creek’ services became popular instantly. Listeners tuned in faithfully to the simple broadcasts which featured life in villages of the horse-and-buggy age. National recognition was not long in coming. Hopkins died in 1937, but his widow continues the programs with the aid of ministers from various churches. Old hymns are sung, the services are interdenominational, and the church is supported entirely by free-will offerings. And simplicity is being very well received in the home of sophistication.
Lester, You sure know more about it than I did! Once again, you surpassed me as a Los Angeles history buff. Do you know the title of the book? The Pasadena Main Library has articles going back to this era, but I would need an exact date. BTW, there was lots of right wing intrigue back then. I read an article recently in the L.A. Times about how in 1947, the Glendale American Legion stormed into the La Crescenta Democratic Club meeting and had to be removed by the police. They were all wired up over what they perceived as the club's leftist tendencies...

Hello, Could someone do a lookup for the birth of: ARMS, CLIFFORD birthdate: 10/29/1924 MALE (mother's maiden:COOPER) place of birth: LOS ANGELES Thank you - Junel
Today, I checked for an article on this incident, and there was nothing. You might want to double check that date...the L.A. Times wrote up everything crime related in 1934, and can't imagine they wouldn't have had something. His name was not on the official death lists that the Times printed also.

I am willing to pay for > services. Kim Are you sure that was in Pasadena? There was a *BIG* flap about some rightwingers who coerced the school board into firing the superintendant. But, the crowds are all described as being peaceful, though quite upset, and lawful. There was a book written about this, and some magazines picked up the story from the book. My library does NOT have films of the newspapers going back that far, so I have to believe the book, which described an excited peace-on-the-edge in Pasadena. The affair was winding down in December (1950). Too bad the book did not mention any riots or even any arrests. I could have waxed eloquent on the subject (probably with the list mom's disapproval).
